Super Nintendo Entertainment System

The Super Nintendo Entertainment System or SNES, is a video game console created by Nintendo and released in Japan on 1990-11-21 and in the USA on 1991-08-23.

After seeing my friend beat Super Mario World shortly after the SNES came out, and being a huge fan of Nintendo in general, I requested an SNES for Christmas and got it (I believe it was the winter of 1991, but it may have been 1992). This is probably my favorite video game platform over all. Even if it doesn't have the most of my favorite games, I just think it was the best-constructed of platforms showcasing the largest jump in technology, while also having a solid construction.
